Question

Take rangoli or soft soil/sand in a big dish or a tray to practice lines on it using a stick or with a finger. Make diagrams of wavy and intersecting lines using thick wool.

Answer 1

Here’s how you can complete this activity step by step:

Materials Needed:

1. Big Dish or Tray – filled with rangoli powder, soft soil, or fine sand.
2. Stick or Finger – for drawing in the sand or soil.
3. Thick Wool – for creating diagrams.
4. Optional: Ruler for more precise lines.

Steps:

1. Drawing with Rangoli/Soil/Sand:
   1. Set Up: Spread a thin, even layer of rangoli or soil/sand in the dish or tray.
   2. Draw Wavy Lines: Use your stick or finger to create smooth, flowing wavy lines across the tray.
   3. Draw Intersecting Lines: Create a series of straight or curved lines that cross each other at different points.
   4. Experiment: Try making zigzags, spirals, or a combination of straight and wavy lines.
2. Creating Diagrams with Wool:
   1. Prepare the Wool: Cut the thick wool into different lengths to use for diagrams.
   2. Make Wavy Lines: Arrange the wool on a flat surface to form wavy patterns.
   3. Make Intersecting Lines: Cross two or more pieces of wool over each other to create intersecting designs.
   4. Additional Patterns: Create loops, circles, or more complex shapes using the wool.
